Luke 1:68-70 NLT
Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has visited and redeemed his people. He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David, as he said through his holy prophets long ago.
Heavenly Father,
We come before You with grateful hearts, praising You for Your faithfulness and love. As You have shown through the ages, Your promises stand firm and Your salvation endures. We lift up Shelby County, Tennessee, to You, asking for Your continued guidance and blessing.
Lord, instill in us a deep sense of hope and trust in Your plan. In times of uncertainty and change, remind us of Your unchanging nature and Your unwavering commitment to Your people.
We pray for the strength and resilience of our community. May Your saving grace be our foundation in both trials and triumphs. Help us to support one another, drawing inspiration from the salvation You have provided.
Grant wisdom to our leaders, that they may make decisions reflective of Your love and righteousness. Let our community be a testament to Your enduring faithfulness, a place where every individual feels Your comforting presence.
We thank You, Father, for Your redemptive work in our lives and in our world. May our lives be a continuous expression of gratitude and praise for Your merciful acts.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray.
Amen.
